Volume 1 Chapter 701 Crying One
Oilvia anxiously rummaged through her schoolbag, found the chocolate she brought and gave it to Yiyi, who took it with a sob.
"Oilvia, My father is going to leave M country, I am very sad."
(Oilvia, my dad is leaving Country U. I am very sad.)
Oilvia comforted her immediately upon hearing this, she knew how it felt when her father left, and she was also sad that her daddy went to work.
"Reba, it's okay. I'm here for you."
(Rebecca, it's okay, I'll stay with you.)
With Oilvia's comfort and care, Yi Yi stopped crying, but was still unwilling to let go of Gu Tingxiao's neck.
"Reba, we're going in, so your dad can see you when you perform."
(Rebecca, we are going to go in so your dad can come and see your performance.)
When Yi Yi heard that Gu Tingxiao could come to see her performance, she looked at Gu Tingxiao expectantly, and Gu Tingxiao nodded.
"I will come. It's my first performance, so of course Dad wants to see it."
"It's a deal. Pinky promise."
Yi Yi stretched out her hand and pinky-pinched with him, and Gu Tingxiao stretched out his hand and pinky-pinched with her. In his mind, he was already making arrangements on how he would come to Country M when the time came.
"It's a deal."
Only then was Yi Yi willing to let him leave. Gu Tingxiao rubbed her head and watched her walk into the college hand in hand with Olivevia.
This time, Yi Yi really stopped crying and accepted the fact that Gu Tingxiao was leaving.
Gu Tingxiao left Yi Yi's college and returned to the embassy to meet with his teammates to arrange their return home.
The embassy arranged a flight for them at 5pm and all their documents were ready.
Sheng Wanyan was also somewhat reluctant to let Gu Tingxiao leave. She felt very at ease with Gu Tingxiao by her side.
At noon, Gu Tingxiao returned home to pack his luggage, and Sheng Wanyan also went back at noon. The couple stayed together for the entire afternoon.
"I'll help you clean up."
Sheng Wanyan packed luggage for Gu Tingxiao. Gu Tingxiao looked at his wife who was packing his luggage and walked up to her and hugged her from behind.
"Don't worry, you have to take good care of yourself."
Sheng Wanyan paused as she folded the clothes, then smiled, nodded, and leaned back.
"I will, and so will you."
"good."
Sheng Wanyan knew that he was reluctant to do so, but they had heavy responsibilities and had to put their love for their children aside.
"Let's go."
Gu Tingxiao and Sheng Wanyan left after lunch. They had to leave early to avoid being delayed and unable to board the plane due to any accidents on the way.
Gu Tingxiao and his group did not ask anyone from the embassy to send them off. Instead, they asked for two cars and drove to the airport by themselves.
Everyone was aware of their actions, after all, no one knew what dangers might arise...
Sheng Wanyan looked at Gu Tingxiao, who was wearing a military uniform, a gun hanging behind his waist and a dagger on his thigh. She exchanged a glance with her comrades, and they all turned around and saluted the diplomats who were seeing them off.
Sheng Wanyan looked at Gu Tingxiao, and Gu Tingxiao looked at her. The diplomat and the soldier saluted each other and wished them a safe journey.
"Bon voyage, everyone."
Zhou Bin stood at the front and talked to several soldiers. Gu Tingxiao and his group nodded, quickly got in the car and left.
Sheng Wanyan watched the two cars leave, lowered her eyes and said nothing. Gu Tingxiao, who was in the car, looked at Sheng Wanyan who was getting farther and farther away through the rearview mirror.
I'm sorry for making you so sad and worried about me.
———
The car left, the embassy door closed, and everything was settled.
Sheng Wanyan took a deep breath and followed the diplomats back to the office. They... still had a battle to fight.
After that, Sheng Wanyan was busy working and preparing for the United Nations General Assembly in September.
Time became quiet as Gu Tingxiao left, until the moment she saw the two scrapped vehicles being pulled back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
When Sheng Wanyan saw the two cars with deflated tires caused by gunfire and only the shells left from the collision, her heart instantly sank to the bottom.
Sheng Wanyan hurried to the director's office to find Zhou Bin. Zhou Bin was also contacting people in China to find the whereabouts of Gu Tingxiao and his group.
"Brother."
Sheng Wanyan looked at Zhou Bin in front of him. Zhou Bin didn't know how to face her and could only tell the truth.
"Country M found out about the information and killed them halfway."
When Sheng Wanyan heard this, her body softened, and Zhou Bin quickly continued to reassure her.
"Don't worry, they are alive. The military district has arranged people to pick them up."
Sheng Wanyan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that he was still alive. She looked out the window for a long time without saying anything, and finally she looked like nothing had happened.
"Brother, I believe in him, and I also believe in the country's arrangements."
"Even if something went wrong, he still fulfilled his lifelong ideal and died for his country!"
Zhou Bin listened to her words for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses until Sheng Wanyan left the office.
Zhou Bin lowered his head and smiled at himself sarcastically.
Yes, the couple have the same ideals, so what is there to worry about?
He admired Sheng Wanyan's strength and clarity, and also admired Gu Tingxiao's ideal: to die for the country!
Sheng Wanyan returned to her post, and her colleagues clearly felt that her aura was different, as if she was suppressing a force that could burst out at any time.
A week later, Sheng Wanyan called home and it was Gu Tingxiao who answered the phone. Sheng Wanyan instantly let out the anger in her heart.
"Wife, I'm back safely."
"You are injured."
Sheng Wanyan said this with certainty, and Gu Tingxiao on the other end of the conversation knew that he couldn't hide it from his wife at all.
After all, he wasn't injured, so how could he be at home?
"Wife, it's just a minor injury, just stay at home and take care of it."
If Gu Tingxiao was seriously injured, he would definitely be in the hospital instead of at home. Sheng Wanyan knew that there was no need for her to scold him.
"I'm glad you're okay. Yi Yi missed you very much and wanted to talk to you."
Sheng Wanyan looked at Yi Yi who was staring at her eagerly and handed the phone to her. Yi Yi quickly took it and started chatting with Gu Tingxiao.
"Dad, are you home yet?"
"I'm home now, and I brought back the gifts I gave to my brothers."
"Have you told my brothers that I'm the eldest?"
Lai Lai Maomao on the other end of the phone was hugging Gu Tingxiao's legs, and when she heard her sister's voice, she immediately pricked up her ears to listen.
Gu Tingxiao glanced down at his two chubby sons and had no idea what he was about to face.
"Not yet. Dad will tell my brothers later."
"Okay, Dad, you should educate your brothers quickly."
Seeing Yi Yi's impatient urging, Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao smiled helplessly. This child is really persistent sometimes.
